    In GTR2*, we can use DXVK and it exhibits the same clunky alt-tab behaviour as R3E with DXVK unless you set its d3d9.enableDialogMode = True.

    It would be nice to have this in R3E's DXVK mode which gets me more FPS and lowers my GPU usage so that alt-tabbing is more fluid.

    The comment for the param says:

    # Enable dialog box mode
    #
    # Changes the default state of dialog box mode.
    # *Disables* exclusive fullscreen when enabled.


    I don't know, I hope that helps somehow

    *GTR2 with the Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements Plugin by The Iron Wolf with DXVK enabled

    Where do you set this parameter? If it's some additional file along DXVK dlls then you can try adding it manually in Raceroom too. Raceroom doesn't use any special integration with DXVK, it's just a separate folder with executables and DXVK dlls.

    Ah, that's helpful, I looked in the My Docs folder but not the game folder.

    Edit: Couldn't find anything useful there
